ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. This is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. But most companies don’t have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. 

At Retool, we’re on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We’re building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that’s a mission worth striving for. 

Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business. Interested in joining us? Let us know! 

WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU: 

We’re changing the way software is built at Retool. We’ve developed the fastest way to build internal tools, saving companies time, resources, and engineering bandwidth. We’re looking for the right people as we build a world-class team to support this mission. 

Retool is transformative for building software, but there is so much more to software beyond just the build. How we enable the software development lifecycle in our platform includes deep technical and product challenges.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

  • Communicate and collaborate effectively with product management and product designers
  • Manage a fullstack team of engineers; support the team by identifying growth opportunities, providing continuous feedback and performance management as appropriate. 
  • Define your team strategy and ensure execution to maximize business impact 
  • Meet with customers to better understand product sentiment 
  • Introduce scalable, repeatable processes that help engineering and product teams deliver a successful product.
  • Partner with recruiting on building out a diverse team of engineers

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING: 

  • 3+ years of experience successfully leading and managing teams
  • Champion for engineering through macro process changes 
  • Deep technical understanding; we don’t expect you to code, but you should be able to navigate our codebase and engage deeply on design and architecture.
  • A history of orienting teams and setting strategy toward engineering goals, with a bias toward impact.
  • Experience successfully recruiting, building, and scaling teams.
  • Operating as a business-owner – caring deeply about our customers, product, and team
  • Thoughtfulness around engineering culture, process, and identity
  • The ability to navigate ambiguity, manage stakeholders, communicate in a structured manner, and drive maximal accountability and excellence.
  • A collaborative skillset to partner effectively with product, design, and go-to-market teams.
